Background

During an undergraduate degree in Natural Sciences, specialising in Biochemistry, a summer research placement developing methods to examine DNA replication origins in Joyce Hamlin’s lab at the University of Virginia sparked Ed’s interest in molecular genetics. Ed moved to the Galton Laboratory at University College London for his PhD in Genetics examining the genetics of lactase persistence in humans under the supervision of Dallas Swallow.  After six postdoctoral years in John Armour’s lab at the University of Nottingham, Ed was given the opportunity to start his own lab here in Leicester in 2006.
